I tried this on in store anticipating it wouldn’t work on me. I was wrong. It did. Someone told me it looks both playful and sophisticated at the same time and it’s true. This dress can go either way - tea with friends, a matinee, the office with a little jacket over it, a kid’s party where there is too much sugar and no beer.

The floral pattern is surprisingly vibrant and didn’t wash me out like some pale pinks usually do. There is a wide spectrum of colors in this dress that make it more versatile color-wise and matching-wise.

The diagonal detailing is interesting and makes this special. Sizing is true to size, but you could probably size down for a more snatched waist or size up for length and be fine.

The arms are a little tighter than other HHH dresses - but it didn’t bother me even though my arms aren’t super thin.
